This is a White-tailed Spider (Lampona) inside my house. They do come inside from time to time - although not as often as Huntsman Spiders. So I took the pic and, when enlarged (the actually spider is about 12mm long), I noticed the white blob at end and was curious. Searching the web (sorry) for pics of white-tailed spiders I found a match.
I hadn't seen one before, but I vaguely remember the huge explosion of scaremongering that went on when their bites were blamed for a new flesh-eating disease"necrotising arachnidism" . It was such a convincing lot of hype that medical doctors were diagnosing it. Of course any wound can create an entry point for nasties, but in a study of 130 people with confirmed white-tail bite found not a single case of ulceration - nor did a previous study. I'd rather not be bitten by a spider - or anything else for that matter, but I know it won't attack me. It's in the house looking for its favourite supper - the Black House Spider. They're fond of Redbacks too, so roam around looking in likely nooks and crannies. Swings and roundabouts really.
